Continuing with where we left off with this photograph,…here we're going to look at how we can now sharpen this image…since we've already applied some noise reduction to it.…In the Sharpening controls that you'll find at the top,…we have four different sliders and I want you to really get to know these sliders,…so that you can figure out how to best sharpen your images.…The Amount slider is pretty straightforward.…This increases the overall intensity of the sharpening…that's going to be applied to your image.…Let's click and drag this to the right to an exaggerated level…so that we can really understand the other three sliders.…

This course provides in-depth training on Camera Raw 7, the Photoshop CS6 component that enables photographers to open and manipulate raw format images. Raw images are minimally processed in the camera; they're effectively the exact data recorded by the camera's sensor. Author Chris Orwig shows you how to control a raw image's appearance—exposure, shadow and highlight detail, color balance, and sharpness—with far more precision than is possible with JPEG images. The course also introduces the new workflow procedures and technical concepts and issues associated with raw content, so that photographers can best leverage this powerful format.
